Helping words to get through life

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' "

The Great Weekend and the new addition!

So sorry it has taken me this long but most of these are from the weekend we went to Dallas and found out that Little Bee was perfectly healthy!!! We celebrated the good news by taken all the kids to the Fort Worth Zoo. Brezlyn's first time to a zoo!!! We all had so much fun!

First off my Parents got me a new dog for my birthday....he is now 5 months old. He is a corgi mix and has the cutest eyes!!! He is smaller than Biscuit with a short stocky build. Oh the way to get him I told the kids I wanted to name him Corgi but Keyton started to cry and said " Mommy Paisley got to name Biscuit, I name him" So I let him and his name is Wags....go figure!

Here is Wags....
So After Brezlyn's apt. that Friday morning we went to Grapevine to eat and shop waiting for Timber and Nikki to get home from work. We got the kids some really cute clothes and cute little hats.

Time for Thanks

I just finished watching My Sister's Keeper tonight. First off I am so glad that I did not try to watch it 2 months ago because it would have really brought me down with Brezlyn under going all her test. Second it really made me stop and thank God for saving me from the broken heart and fear I would have had to under go if any of the test would have come back pos. I got to see a glimpse at what life would have (somewhat) been like if they had come back pos. Also showed me how close we came to living like that. I am so blessed to have such beautiful kids and blessed that they are now (miraculously) healthy! I thank God for the work he did in saving my little baby and our family from that road. I am truly blessed...........

Thank you God it was only by your hand that she can have the chance at a normal healthy life. I can not wait to see the person she and the others will become....

Eggs, Celebration, Discovery, and Family

Sorry it has taken me so long but here are some pics from our little family Easter!!! The Easter bunny came and brought so many fun toys!

Paisley with her new care bear set from her Easter basket.


Keyton with his Sax from his Easter basket!!!



Brezlyn with her first Easter basket!!! She got a cute giggle ball and a soft book! Not bad for not even getting to hunt

Paisley getting her eggs and toys that the Easter bunny left for her! She was so excited. She got 2 sets of ponies, a pet shop set and some eggs

Keyton getting one of his puzzles...he did not go after the toys only the eggs at first!!! It was funny he did not know what to do with them at first! Silly but funny...he got a puzzle, train set and movie with eggs too.






Sweet kids hunting eggs and toys!

Next big thing was Aunt Katie's baby shower! The kids where so excited to go and see all the things she got for the new baby. We made a card for Katie and sweet Paisley held it and said..."Dear God, please send angels to watch over Brazos and Katie's baby and keep it safe. Amen". Then she put down the card, it was so sweet and it made me cry. I love that she did that. Then at the shower they both drew on a card and told me that it said....."God, watch over the baby" Sweet kids
Brezlyn all dressed and ready to go!
Paisley got all the balloons to take home from the shower and she was showing them to her baby cousin Harper who was to busy messing with Keyton. Those two love each other so much the whole time they kissed every time they saw each other.

Loving on a sleeping Keyton
When he woke up she ran over an said hi and he smiled the sweetest smile and said Hi Harper back. SO sweet

He got a new Piggie bank from his Aunt Kim and Uncle Jimmy with some money to put into....the rest of the week he sat and put it in and out! He loves his money!
